"New Single 'Maybe When We’re 30' Released Today!"
Sports Team have just released their highly anticipated new single, “Maybe When We’re 30,” accompanied by a self-directed music video. This track showcases a more introspective side of the band, combining sarcasm and sincerity into a poignant commentary on settling down in today’s world.
